OCI extend Olympic cut off date to City Sports

BUPA Cork City Sports has been given a huge boost by the Olympic Council of Ireland’s three-day extension to their cut off point for Athens qualification, which will allow athletes an opportunity to achieve requisite times at the Mardyke on July 3.

City Sports Chairman, Dick Hodgins has promised top class fields, especially in the sprints and 1,500m, where it is likely that we will have athletes chasing times.

"Already we have had numerous inquiries about the event and we will be processing those over the coming months," he said.
